CPD contributes huge to creating mindset for mass uprising: CA

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus on Sunday said the Center for Policy Dialogue's (CPD) research and public awareness activities played a huge role in creating the mindset for the recent student-people uprising.

He also said that the research organisation has always been involved in establishing a democratic, just and accountable society.

The Chief Adviser made the remark in a video message played at a programme organised in Dhaka marking CPD's 30th anniversary.

He said the CPD has been able to establish itself as a reliable and fearless institution for the people of the country through various activities over the past 30 years.

"That is why this institution always holds special significance for me," Prof Yunus said.

Noting that Bangladesh is now going through a crucial time, he said, "I hope that CPD will continue its intellectual contribution in the present and future as it did so in the past and will contribute to the welfare of the country and its people".

He wished CPD's greater role and success in the coming days for the needs of the country.
